Which plastic do you use?

Post by CROOKED RIVER » Wed Jun 23, 2010 7:13 pm

I love a 6" lizard, but I cant find any that are tough. I tried Zoom last week with no luck. I caught fish but went through a bag in no time.

Most the plastics today are so soft, they just don't last. Remember back when you couldn't just throw them in the tackle box because they would eat into the plastic, or if they got up next to a box of sinkers or hooks and they would become one! Those old worms and Mister Twisters would last forever, and we caught as many bass with them as these guys do with these soft baits.

The motor oil was good, too.

I went to www.bassassassin.com, a buddy turned me onto them. Some great deals. I bought 6 bags of lizards. 90 count per bag, bulk for 3-4 bucks a bag.
